"...In Mysterious Ways"

"So, tell me something. Why is it that even girls write about guys?"

I had just finished reading an excerpt from my book to Cameron, and he posed this question. I pondered it for a moment, almost pointing out that actually a lot of girls did write about girls, but finally I answered.

"For me, guys are easier to portray. Somehow I find it harder to distinguish a girl's personality. Guys are just easier to work with."

Cameron was silent for a moment. "So... basically, even to girls, girls are a mystery."

I laughed. "Yes, exactly! We've long stopped attempting to understand ourselves. We just are. We probably won't understand the mysterious ways of women until we reach the Other Side. We'll have to ask God, 'how do women work?' --And of course, he'll refer us to his wife!"
